Résidence Pierre & Vacances La Petite Venise
A homely holiday in a quaint cobblestone village.
By Catherine McKie, VeryChic correspondent
Alsace is one of the most prosperous regions of France, having been an important trading route since the Middle Ages. And, yet, at its heart lies quaint Colmar, a true picture-postcard town composed of traditional cobbled streets lined with flowers and half-timbered, brightly painted houses in the local Alsatian style. It’s the perfect place to relax and reminisce. That’s why Résidence Pierre & Vacances La Petite Venise welcomes all who want to unwind in this charming rural region.
As the saying goes, “home is where the heart is” and that’s why Résidence Pierre & Vacances La Petite Venise aims to provide all the comfort of home, without all of the tedious daily chores. On one hand, it boasts contemporary style and modern equipment, and, yet, on the other hand, it brings in traditional Alsatian elements and cosy touches, too. It offers studios and apartments to suit all group sizes, combining the luxurious aspects of a hotel, such as south-facing balconies and terraces to soak up the continental sunshine, a daily cleaning service, an indoor swimming pool and children’s play area, with all the things you love about being home – perhaps even your pooch companion or feline family member, too!
“Our homes should inspire us to go out into the world to do great things and then welcome us back for refreshment.” – Melissa Michaels
While Résidence Pierre & Vacances La Petite Venise is enveloped in a blissful ambience, with the amenities to spend all day snuggled up, and everything a guest might need in one place, its location – in quaint Colmar and near the picturesque Little Venice neighbourhood – means that venturing a little further afield is worth it, too. Wandering the streets of this charming village, brimming with colour and character, is reminiscent of happy childhood memories. And, with the River Rhine and the wooded mountains nearby, there is plenty of opportunity to work up an appetite for the local cuisine. While Alsace is famous for its beer and prized for its vineyards, the little ones can enjoy another speciality – the gorgeous Alsatian gingerbread.
At Résidence Pierre & Vacances La Petite Venise, there is something for everyone and it’s the perfect place to make your very own “home away from home”.
“The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave and even better to come back.” – Wendy Wunder
